Terra CO2 (Privco, 53.5% held by SMD)

  • Cement production is responsible for roughly 7% of

global CO2 emissions.

  • Terra CO2 is developing a potential replacement for

Portland cement which looks to reduce CO2 output by 60% or more than current processes.

  • Drastic impact on CO2 balance.
  • Current technology is focused on using waste

materials, such as tailings, as a feedstock = potential negative input costs.

  • Strong independent management focused on

innovative research and rapid commercialization.

epithermal or orogenic gold vein zones.

  • Gold occurs as native gold and with

arsenopyrite.

Stacked, laterally extensive skarn horizons have produced promising drill results including 1.94% copper and 0.87 g/t gold over 18.59 m. Gold-rich skarns deeper in the stratigraphic section have assayed 43.6 g/t gold over 1 m and 12.15 g/t gold over 2.65 m. A large untested porphyry target, which is

  • utlined by chip sampling, soil anomalies,

magnetic lows, chargeability highs and resistivity lows, has only been tested by a few widely spaced holes.

Porphyry target is a 1200 m by 400 m area of coincident, highly anomalous copper and gold soil geochemistry (up to 1155 ppm and 632 ppb, respectively) with strong chargeability support. Historical drilling targeted a hydromorphically transported copper- in-soil anomaly located downhill from the core of the gold anomaly.
